Essay:

It is believed that constant traffic congestion in many cities around the globe cause by the car ownership become increasingly common over the past thirty years. I agree with this statement and the goverment should have take action to encourage people to use other means of transport.

It is undoubt that many traffic jams in the urban area are caused by person automobiles. Moreover, the rapidly increasing in population that lead to the increasingly demand of having a car in many households. This is a social problem in many economical cities in the world like New York, Toronto, London where having a milions of residents and it is unlikely to solve because people are prefer to own a car or reside near the workplace rather than taking other means of transports. While automobile brand will continue to introduce more affordable car to the market, the efficetive solution is encouraging people to use other kind of transports.

In order to resolve this issue, the local authority should have action to discourage people from commuting by personal automobile. Since the demand to commute are increasingly become common, stimulating people to use other kind of transports is an effective solution. The goverment can provide some discounts on the cost of public transport to not only student but also worker to stimulate the residents. Moreover, there is a raise of using electric scooter or e-bicycle to commute in many developed city. Thus, this also is a potential solution for local authority that they can introduce either more lanes or wider lanes for cyclists on the street in many downtown. A good example is in downtown of Toronto where almost major streets having lane for bicycle or scooter only and that reducing a lot of personal vechical on the road.

In conclusion, the demand of car ownership is rapidly increase in many urban areas around the world over the past thirty year which is a major reason of traffic jams. In order to solve this problem the local authorities have to commit to periodically maintain and improve the quality of public transports and constructions which encourage people to use other kind of transports.
